Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a write clock generator incorporated in a time base corrector for a video tape recorder and more specifically to a write clock generator which can generate a write clock signal having accurate phase information and accurate frequency information on video signals reproduced from a video tape.
  • a synchronizing signal SYNC and a burst signal BURST are separated from a video signal VDIN reproduced from a tape.
  • the write clock generator generates a write clock signal WCK and a write start pulse signal WZERO involving time base fluctuations (i.e. jitter) in synchronism with the above separated signals SYNC and BURST.
  • the write start pulse signal WZERO serves as a head address designation signal for each scanning line to a memory.
  • Memory addresses are incremented in sequence in response to the write clock signal WCK in order to write the reproduced video signal VDIN in a memory scanning line by scanning line.
  • the video signal stored once in the memory is read in response to a read start pulse RZERO and a read clock signal RCK generated from a read clock generator in response to a stable reference pulse signal VDREF.
  • the read video signal is outputted from the time base corrector as a reproduced video signal - VDOUT without including jitter together with a synchronizing signal SYNCX, a burst signal BURSTX and a blank pulse BLKX all applied from the read clock generator.
  • Japanese Patent Appli. No. 60-24669 discloses a write clock generator which can accurately generate a write clock signal WCK including phase information and frequency fluctuation information on the reproduced video signal VDIN.
  • the write clock signal WCK is generated in phase-synchronism with the reproduced burst signal BURST.
  • the initial phase information can be included; however, since it is impossible to give frequency fluctuation information to the write clock signal WCK, this method is not practical in the case where the reproduced video signal includes relatively great frequency fluctuations.
  • a write clock signal WCK is generated on the basis of frequency fluctuation information obtained from the reproduced horizontal synchronizing signal SYNC and phase information obtained from the reproduced burst signal BURST.
  • the reproduced horizontal synchronizing signal SYNC is applied to a phase locked loop circuit to form a synchronizing signal including frequency fluctuations involved in the reproduced video signal VDIN, and the formed synchronizing signal is phase-shifted so as to synchronize with the phase of the reproduced burst signal BURST.
  • the circuit is complicated, because the frequency fluctuations are suppressed within + half wave in digital fashion and further the synchronizing circuit is configured in analog fashion.
  • the write clock generator for a time base corrector for generating a write clock signal to a time base correcting memory on the basis of a burst signal and a horizontal synchronizing signal both separated from a reproduced video signal in order to reduce time base fluctuations involved in the reproduced signal
  • the write clock generator comprises (a) means for generating a write clock signal in response to a burst signal included in the reproduced video signal, an initial phase of the write clock signal being synchronized with a phase of the burst signal; (b) means for generating a frequency fluctuation signal in response to a horizontal synchronizing signal included in the reproduced video signal; (c) means for detecting a difference in frequency between the write clock signal and the frequency fluctuation signal and generating a frequency difference signal; and (d) means connected to said write clock signal generating means, for controlling a frequency of the write clock signal so that the difference in frequency between the write clock signal and the frequency fluctuation signal is reduced to zero in response to
  • the write clock signal generating means comprises a start pulse generator and a start-stop VCO.
  • the frequency fluctuation signal generating means comprises a PLL circuit.
  • the frequency difference detecting means comprises a frequency discriminating circuit including a first and second switching circuits and a frequency discriminator, a first and second holding circuits, and a differential voltage detector.
  • the VCO starts to oscillate in response to a start pulse signal STRT generated by the start pulse generator in response to a reproduced burst signal BURST and outputs a write clock signal WCK. Therefore, the initial phase of the write clock signal WCK is in synchronism with the reproduced burst signal BURST, that is, with the phase of the reproduced video signal.
  • the frequency of the write clock signal WCK is detected by the frequency discriminator in the form of an amplitude of a voltage signal, and held by the first holding circuit as a dc voltage signal.
  • the PLL circuit generates a frequency fluctuation signal S19 in response to a reproduced horizontal synchronizing signal H so as to include time base fluctuations, and held by the second holding circuit in the same way.
  • the differential voltage detector applies a dc control signal representative of a difference in frequency between the two signals WCK and S19 to the VCO so as to eliminate the frequency difference. Therefore, the generated write clock signal WCK includes accurate phase information and accurate time base fluctuation information on a reproduced video signal VDIN, thus it being possible to obtain a video signal of good reproducibility in spite of a relatively simple circuit configuration.
  • a video signal VDIN is reproduced from a tape.
  • a reproduced synchronizing signal SYNC and a reproduced burst signal BURST are separated from a reproduced video signal VDIN through a synchronizing and burst signal separator 1.
  • the two separated signals SYNC and BURST are applied to a write clock generator 2.
  • the write clock generator 2 generates a write clock signal WCK and a read start pulse signal WZERO in synchronism with a reproduced synchronizing signal SYNC and a reproduced burst signal BURST both having fluctuations on time base.
  • the write clock signal WCK is given to an analog-digital converter 3 as a sampling pulse signal and also to a memory controller 4 together with a write start pulse signal WZERO.
  • the memory controller 4 designates each head address of each scanning line to a memory 5 and thereafter writes video signal data VDIND obtained from an analog-to-digital converter 3 for each scanning line (i.e. for each lH) in the memory 5 in sequence by sequentially incrementing the address in response to the write clock signal WCK.
  • the data written in the memory 5 are read in response to a read clock signal RCK and a read start pulse signal RZERO generated from a read clock generator 6 on the basis of a reference pulse signal VDREF having a stable period.
  • the video signal data are converted into analog signals through a digital-to-analog converter 7 driven in response to the read clock signal RCK and then applied to a phase adjuster 8.
  • the phase adjuster 8 generates a reproduced video output signal VDOUT together with a synchronizing signal SYNCX, a burst signal BURSTX, and a blank pulse BLKX all given from the read clock generator 6.
  • the reference numeral 10 denotes a write clock generator to be incorporated in the time base corrector shown in Fig. 1.
  • the reproduced burst signal BURST separated through the synchronizing burst separator 1 (shown in Fig. 1) is given to a start pulse generator 11.
  • the start pulse generator 11 extracts a desired wave of the burst signal BURST on the basis of the zero-cross point of the reproduced burst signal BURST, and gives the wave signal START to a start/stop type voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) 12 after waveform shaping.
  • VCO voltage controlled oscillator
  • the start/stop type VCO 12 is reset when the start pulse signal START is given, and oscillates with the phase being shifted to a reference phase compulsorily. Further, the frequency of the VCO 12 can be controlled on the basis of a voltage applied thereto. Since the frequency is selected to a frequency 4fsc four times higher than the subcarrier frequency fsc, this oscillation signal is outputted as a write clock signal WCK. Further, the write clock signal WCK is given to a frequency discriminator 14 through a first switching circuit 13.
  • the frequency discriminator 14 is composed of a low-pass filter, for instance. As shown in Fig. 3, the frequency characteristics are such that the frequency 4fsc four times higher than the subcarrier frequency is located roughly at a center of the frequency discrimination range AF (cut-off frequency range), and the frequency band BF within which the frequency 4fsc can fluctuate according to the time base fluctuations of the reproduced video signal VDIN is located within this frequency discrimination range AF. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a discrimination signal S14 the amplitude of which varies according to the frequency of the write clock signal WCK through this frequency discriminator 14.
  • a peak detector 15 holds the peak voltage of the discrimination signal S14 supplied from the frequency discriminator 14 and rectifies it into a dc voltage, and the dc voltage signal S15 is given to and held by a first holding circuit 17 through a second switching circuit 16.
  • the holding circuit 17 holds the dc voltage signal S15 representative of the frequency of the write clock signal WCK.
  • the reproduced horizontal synchronizing signal H of the reproduced synchronizing signal SYNC separated through the synchronizing burst separator 1 is given to a PLL (phase locked loop) circuit 19.
  • the PLL circuit 19 generates a frequency fluctuation signal S19 which fluctuates with a frequency 4fsc four times higher than the subcarrier frequency fsc as its center and gives the signal S19 to the second input terminal 13b of the first switching circuit 13, the signal S19 being obtained by multiplying the horizontal synchronizing signal H so as to include the time base fluctuations as they are.
  • a second holding circuit 20 holds the dc voltage signal S15 of the peak detector 15 when the first switching circuit 13 is connected to the second input terminal 13b and the second switching circuit 16 is connected to the second output terminal 16b in linkage with the first switching circuit 13. Therefore, the holding circuit 20 holds the dc voltage signal S15 according to the frequency of the frequency fluctuation signal S19.
  • the two held output signals S17 and S20 of the first and second holding circuits 17 and 20 are given to a differential voltage detector 21, respectively and subtracted by the differential voltage detector 21.
  • the difference voltage signal S21 obtained by the subtraction is given to the start/stop-type VCO 12 as a control signal.
  • the VCO 12 In response to this control signal S21 the VCO 12 is controlled and oscillates in such a way that the difference voltage signal S21 becomes zero in voltage. Therefore, the write clock signal WCK includes frequency fluctuations of the frequency fluctuation signal S19.
  • the switching circuits 13 and 16 are controllably switched by a switching controller 18.
  • a reproduced horizontal synchronizing signal H is given to the switching controller 18, and the controller 18 forms a switching control signal S18 'the logical level of which is reversed for each horizontal synchronization time interval, for instance, on the basis of the reproduced horizontal synchronizing signal H in order to switch the switching circuits 13 and 16 for each horizontal synchronization time interval.
  • the frequency of the write clock signal WCK is converted into a dc voltage signal S15 by the write clock signal frequency controlling means composed of the first switching circuit 13, the frequency discriminator 14, the peak detector 15, and the second switching circuit 16, and is held by the first holding circuit 17.
  • the frequency fluctuation signal S19 formed on the basis of the reproduced horizontal synchronizing signal H is converted into a dc voltage signal 16 by the write clock signal frequency controlling means composed of the first switching circuit 13, the frequency discriminator 14, the peak detector 15, and the second switching circuit 16, and is held by the second holding circuit 20.
  • the difference voltage signal S21 is applied to the VCO 12 to control the oscillation frequency of the VCO 12 so that the difference voltage becomes zero.
  • the write clock signal WCK involves the time base fluctuations of the frequency fluctuation signal S19, that is, the time base fluctuations of the reproduced video signal VDIN.
  • the circuit shown in Fig. 2 it is possible to obtain a write clock signal WCK having the initial phase information given by the reproduced burst signal BURST and the frequency fluctuation information given by the reproduced horizontal synchronizing signal H. Therefore, the phase information on the reproduced video signal VDIN is detected by using the oscillation output of the VCO 12 oscillating on the basis of the reproduced burst signal BURST as the write clock signal WCK, and the frequency fluctuation information on the reproduced video signal VDIN is detected by allowing the frequency of the write clock signal WCK to be fluctuated on the basis of the frequency fluctuation signal S19. Since the circuit is configured as described above, it is possible to simplify the circuit configuration without use of the conventional complicated phase synchronizing circuit which compulsorily implements the phase synchronization after the frequency fluctuation information has been detected.
  • the route through which the frequency is detected is common to the write clock signal and the frequency fluctuation signal, an error due to temperature difference in the route being not generated, it is possible to detect the frequency difference precisely.
  • the VCO 12 starts to oscillate on the basis of the start pulse signal STRT formed by the start pulse generator 11 on the basis of one wave of the reproduced burst signal BURST, and the oscillation output is generated as the write clock signal WCK. Therefore, the initial phase of the write clock signal WCK is in synchronizm with the phase of the reproduced burst signal BURST, that is, the reproduced video signal VDIN.
  • the frequency of the write clock signal WCK is detected in the form of amplitude fluctuation by the frequency discriminator 14 and further converted into a dc voltage signal through the peak detector 15, being held by the holding circuit 17.
  • a dc voltage signal varying according to the frequency of the frequency fluctuation signal S19 is held in the same way.
  • the signal S19 is formed by the PLL circuit 19 so as to have the time base fluctuations of the reproduced video signal VDIN on the basis of the reproduced horizontal synchronizing signal H.
  • the write clock signal WCK is to follow up the time base fluctuations of the reproduced video signal VDIN.
  • the write clock signal WCK accurately includes the phase information and the time base fluctuation information on the reproduced video signal VDIN. Therefore, when the video signal is written in the memory 5 in response to this write clock signal WCK, it is possible to obtain a picture having a good reproducibility.
  • the circuit configuration is markedly simplified as compared with the conventional one.
  • write- clock signal WCK and the frequency fluctuation signal S19 are F-V converted through the same route, it is possible to effectively cancel signal level fluctuations due to temperature change in both the signals WCK and S19.
  • Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, which includes a circuit element for preventing the state where the frequency difference signal S21 cannot be detected accurately because the duty factor is different between the write clock signal WCK and the frequency fluctuation signal S19.
  • a 1/2 divider 25 is further disposed between the first switching circuit 13 and the frequency discriminator 14 to always keep the duty factor of the signal S25 at 50%, for instance. Therefore, the write clock signal WCK having a duty factor 50% as shown in Fig. 5 (A) is divided into a signal S25 0 having a duty factor 50% -as shown in Fig. 5(B), and the frequency fluctuation signal S19 having a duty factor 30% as shown in Fig. 5(C) is divided into a signal S25, having a duty factor 50% as shown in Fig. 5(D).
  • the frequency discriminator 14 composed of low-pass filters has been explained; however, without being limited to this, it is possible to use a band-pass filter, a high-pass filter, etc.
  • the low-pass filter 14 and the peak detector 15 are used in common with the frequency fluctuation signal S19 and the write clock signal WCK. However, it is also possible to separate these sections independently. In this case, the switching element can be omitted.
  • the oscillation output signal of the VCO oscillating on the basis of the reproduced burst signal is outputted as the write clock signal; the frequency fluctuation signal following the time base fluctuations of the reproduced video signal is formed on the basis of the reproduced horizontal synchronizing signal; and the VCO is controlled according to the difference in frequency between the frequency fluctuation signal and the write clock signal. Therefore, it is possible to realize the write clock generator for a time base corrector of simple circuit configuration which can generates the write clock signal having accurate phase information and accurate frequency fluctuation information upon the reproduced video signal. Additionally, since the write clock signal and the frequency fluctuation signal are F-V converted through the same circuit elements, it is possible to cancel the signal fluctuations caused by temperature fluctuations, for instance.
